Tottenham can now prepare for life with the European big boys and manager
Harry Redknapp will be charged with adding quality to an already impressive
squad in the coming summer months.

Redknapp claimed on Thursday he had already started discussions with chairman Daniel Levy but insisted he did not need to spend lavishly to improve Tottenham Hotspur's chances of being successful, but he will have to add to his squad.

Here, Telegraph Sport considers the men the Spurs manager may pursue in the quest to give the club a good chance of being a success among the elite.

Sandro (Internacional). Estimated cost: £6m Redknapp has already completed one signing ahead of next season with the acquisition of Sandro, the Brazilian defensive midfielder, as part of an agreement the teams have. He will arrive at Spurs at the conclusion of the Copa Libertadores, in August.

----------------------

Craig Bellamy (Manchester City). Estimated cost: £10m Redknapp has tried to sign the Welshman before and, at the end of Wednesday’s 1-0 win at City, the striker was spotted having a quick word with Redknapp. With the lure of Champions League football, Bellamy could consider a return to London, though Spurs would struggle to match his £80,000-a-week City wages.

Javi Marquez (Espanyol). Estimated cost: £8m According to reports in Spain, Tottenham are looking to sign Espanyol midfielder Javi Marquez. The 23 year-old playmaker has become one of Espanyol’s most important players this season, renowned for his excellent technique and long range shooting ability and his style would be suitable for the free flowing midfield encouraged by Redknapp.

----------------------

Yossi Benayoun (Liverpool). Estimated cost: £9m Redknapp has been a keen admirer of Benayoun since his days as a West Ham player and with the Israeli struggling to break into the Liverpool side under Rafa Benitez and with Champions league experience he will appeal to the manager.

----------------------

Kasper Schmeichel (Notts County). Estimated cost: free The son of Peter Schemichel, the goalkeeper was at Manchester City but was lured by the big money on offer at Notts County. Now available for nothing, Redknapp is understood to be targeting him as understudy for Heurelho Gomes.

----------------------

Joe Cole (Chelsea). Estimated cost: free. A player who has so much to offer could be available for nothing if Chelsea fail to offer the England midfielder a new contract. Redknapp had Cole at Upton Park, knows the player well and would jump at the chance to sign him for Spurs.

----------------------

Micah Richards (Manchester City). Estimated cost: £12m With doubts remaining over the future of Jonathan Woodgate’s career, and with Ledley King getting no younger, Redknapp may sign another defender. Richards is a versatile defender, operating in the centre or on the right or even in midfield.
